Global Frequency

Global Frequency – Rejected Pilot Thrives On P2P

[via Evan.. thanks Evan] Okay, so apparently it’s a TV show that didn’t happen, based on a comic book. For all those shows that WB and other networks meanly/dumbly/sadly cuts short after just two or a few more episodes, this one may actually have a chance of being placed on air even after being turned out before it ever got a chance.
So far a lil corny (is Miranda intended to be a android?), but I think I already want to watch the next episode.

...added:
more than halfway through the pilot:
...okay i take it back—well, she still seems like an android… but she’s so totally kickass! so kickass!

...added:
okay yea.. the end was too corny. so the show does need some work, but the idea is just fine and if they give it due attention, it would be quite happy. i wouldn’t just whack it off the shelf, though.

...later:
thought about it some more. this is actually a really poorly done show, in very many ways acting, lighting, dialogue (blech!), subtlety (none)... i guess i just like the idea and Miranda was kinda kickass. if it’s taken over by good director/producer/writers , it could be fine. i’m glad i saw it anyway.
